My CPAN Book

Some of you might recall that I started the process of writing a book about some of the most used Perl modules/frameworks. The book is written in PseudoPod, it is available on GitHub, and its official webpage is at http://ambs.github.com/Books/.

Unfortunately I am not having much time lately. My job is to give classes at an University, and I do not teach Perl, so most of the time I am preparing classes, and not hacking.

I do not want to have this book project stopped. So, I would like to invite anyone that would like to contribute to write a section. You can look into the GitHub repository to see the sections that I have in my mind. If you would prefer another subject, let me know and I'll tell you if I am willing to include such a section in the book. Just let me know before starting to write. There are some guidelines written in the README file, that I would like to be respected.

Of course that contributors will have the credits for what they write. I'll need to change the way the book is organized, but I'll do that as soon as somebody wants to help.

The book will be made freely available as PDF. A printed version will be available from lulu.com at cost price (I might round the value and offer the profit to TPF, YEF or APPP).
